Forgiveness

Tom: Dm

C   F
C   F

[Verse 1]
F                                    C   F
It feels so hard to tell the truth
F                       F#5  Gm
I keep it locked away
Gm
Up against the wall
   D#                 F#5  Gm
Up against the night
Gm
It’s not fair
         D#
It’s not right


[Pre Chorus]
      Dm     C       A#           A  A#
Can’t let go of your hand though
      Dm     C       A#           A  A#
Can’t let go of your hand...


[Chorus]
   F
Forgiveness, I need this
                              C
I wish I was strong enough to hold it

Forgiveness, I confess
                                  A#     C  F
Can’t bring myself to turn to the light


[Verse 2]
F                                  C  F
Burning the candle at either end
F                        F#5  Gm
It’s all that I can do
Gm
If I stop moving
     D#              F#5  Gm
Then questions loom
Gm
Drinks and pills
             D#
To clear the room


[Pre Chorus]
      Dm     C     A#            A  A#
Don’t let go of my hand, though
      Dm     C     A#       A  A#
Don’t let go of my hand


[Chorus]
   F
Forgiveness, I need this
                              C
I wish I was strong enough to hold it

Forgiveness, I confess
                                  A#     C  F
Can’t bring myself to turn to the light


[Bridge]
C
Is it
    Dm        C          Gm
For me or for you or for them
        Dm  C  A#
I can’t tell


[Solo]
F  C  A#  A  A#


[Chorus]
   F
Forgiveness, I need it
                              C
I wish I was strong enough to hold it

Forgiveness, give me weirdness
                                         A#     A  A#
I whish that I could turn to turn to the light
C           A#
turn to the light
C           A#
turn to the light
C           A#
turn to the light
